The aim of the work is to search and describe which physical activities are used in social services for these people. To achieve the aim of the work, the quality research, the method of questioning, the technique of half-controlled interview and the technique of the focus group were used. The answers of the communicative partners were gathered with regard to two different research files, and with different techniques of getting the data. The first research files are social workers, workers in social services and activation workers. The participants of the interviews were nine workers from five different social facilities in the South Moravian and the South Bohemian region.

Annotation The bachelor thesis is devoted to Down-syndrome (further DS). Even if the prenatal diagnosis is improving and children with Down-syndrome are born less, they are an integral part of special education. Nowadays the inclusion also concerns educators in common schools. The cooperation with the family is important for the proper development of the child. The aim of the work is to find out the awareness of women from general public about the issues of upbringing of a child with DS and to compare differences in the awareness depending on age and experience of the women. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis describes association with the onset of DS, diagnostic options, characteristic signs and development of the child. It describes further possibilities of education and specifics of the care of children with DS. The empiric part of the bachelor thesis is done in the form of mixed research. In the framework of improving of the quality of the research, opinions of three mothers were collected through the interview who bring up a child with Down-syndrome. The questionnaire was created based on the gathered information which the women were approached with who have not children yet and the women who have a child or children without disability.

Optimization of digital polymerase chain reaction for application in non-invasive prenatal diagnostics
Šenkyřík, Pavel ; Korabečná, Marie (advisor) ; Vodička, Radek (referee)
Digital PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a method that enables absolute quantification of DNA sequences and therefore finds application in many diagnostic disciplines. We focused on the diagnosis of trisomy 21, which manifests itself as Down syndrome. Information about the fetal genome can be obtained from free fetal DNA that is released into the mother's bloodstream from the placenta during pregnancy. In the first trimester, fetal DNA constitutes approximately 5-10% of free DNA and is therefore a suitable target for non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). However, we need a technique that is able to distinguish this relatively small fraction of free fetal DNA and differentiate it from free maternal DNA. Precisely digital PCR provides various ways to achieve this goal thanks to its wide multiplexing possibilities. We focused on optimizing the multiplex reaction, which in one fluorescence channel distinguishes the number of copies of the reference chromosome 18 and the observed chromosome 21. The resulting determination of this ratio provides us with information regarding the balance between the chromosomes and can thus confirm or refute the presence of a trisomic fetal fraction. We tested the usability of the proposed method for clinical application by examining DNA samples isolated from 25 plasma...

The thesis deals with the operation of an inclusive summer camp, which is attended by intact children and siblings of children with disabilities, in addition to children with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities and Down syndrome. The thesis mainly deals with the programme during the week-long stay at the camp and also focuses on interviews with the intact participants. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the preparation, implementation and subsequent detailed description of the inclusive summer camp and also to analyse its impact on the child participants. In my thesis I would like to test the hypothesis that children at the inclusive camp in Bukova get everything they expect from it (quality program, friends, fun, safety, trust in leaders, etc.) even if there are children with disabilities who require a lot of care and attention from other adult leaders and assistants. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part is divided to six chapters. The first one characterizes the concept of Inclusion. The second chapter deals with the family with a child with a...
